If Wlad takes the rematch, would you expect him to be more aggressive?

    He would certainly need to be because he can't implement the same gameplan again, otherwise Fury will cruise to another UD or maybe even stop Wlad late due to exhaustion.

    If Wlad exercises his rematch clause (which he said he will) do you think he would throw the right hand more? He would have nothing to lose this time. He has millions, an established legacy and is definitely in the twilight of his career. Just unleash that right hand more.

    I understand Fury's movement, reach advantage and size had him stumped last night but Fury is nothing special and his power isn't even decent at best. Wlad's mentality was also a huge factor last night. Once his usual style didn't work, he had nothing in his locker to change it.

    More aggressive would suit Fury, judging from last night's fight.
    Fury had trouble landing anything clean on the cautious Wlad. A more aggressive Wlad would be easier to hit on target.

    What's the point in taking it if he won't fight agressive?

    Indeed.

    Ain't nobody wants to see another fight where he lands like 40 punches and throws nothing but 20 jabs a round.

    GReat HW champs go for it, even though they risk getting ko'd. What Lewis did was incredible against Vitali.

    Clearly got his ass kicked the first two rounds, outboxed clearly but then say **** it and went for it and tko'd him. :bbb

    It would be hard for him to be any less aggressive

    Exactly. His only chance is to go ***** to the wall, and I'm not sure he has that in him, at least at age 39 (and he'd be 40 by the time of the rematch).

    Wlad has had a great career. He should call it quits now.

    Never? He was exactly that type of fighter, until he got flattened. Then he became the safety first fight we've seen for the last decade or so.

    unless he takes 2-3 lines of coke in the dressing room before the fight, no, I don't expect him to be more aggressive in a rematch vs Fury

    Both Lennox and Vitali from that night would've walked Fury down last night. Wlad needs to show that he can go for it and be willing to take one to land one. You can't expect to be considered an H2H ATG when you're scared to throw a power punch against a guy who doesn't even have one punch KO power.

    What last night showed was he doesn't know how to be aggressive. That goes completely against his style in the ring. The man has zero inside game as well. All he knows is to clinch on the inside.

    If he didn't fight aggressive when his title was slipping away, what makes you think anything is going to be different now?

    Honestly Klit****s, get over it.

    Some of you make it sound like Wlad quit on his stool against a hand picked bum like Tyson did when he was almost Wladimirs age.

    Seems crazy to me that one guy who's past it is against a larger, younger opponent, quits on his stool after committing multiple fouls and that guys a warrior. Wladimir is in a similar situation against a MUCH better fighter and he doesn't quit and even wins the final round yet some of you jerk offs call him a coward. WTF??

    Wlad had a great, long run after everyone wrote him off. That deserves respect. Fury fought a great fight and win fair and square. That also deserves respect.

    Difference was Tyson had been shot for years

    Wladmir was the dominant champion and the favourite.

    Wladmir has always been mentally weak and last night proved it.

    The one fight which mattered the most and he bottled it.

    If he'd fought aggressively he would have ended up like Pacqiauo did vs Marquez in their final encounter.
